Clinical Documentation and ICD-10 Preparation



Pediatric healthcare organizations face the ongoing process of maintaining accurate and successful documentation. The world of clinical documentation also faces new challenges with the conversion over to ICD-10. According to a recent study by ACDIS, 37 percent of respondents said that they were unaware if their organization had conducted an assessment of ICD-10 preparations.

One of the most important factors in developing a more effective documentation program is that both the physicians and administrative staff see the value of improving the process. It is essential for hospital administration and physicians to work together on common goals to have a successful program. PDI programs can be tailored to operate with an organization’s existing program, implementing strategies where needed to help increase both productivity and profitability.
